I am an HPCSA registered clinical psychologist based in Pretoria, South Africa. I focus on tailoring interventions to meet each client's unique needs and provide clients with a safe space to give voice to their psychological distress as a way to alleviate suffering.

I use a person-centered but Jungian approach to therapy, integrating techniques from various therapeutic models to best suit your individual needs. Additionally, I have a special interest in depth psychology, which allows us to explore the unconscious aspects of your psyche, uncovering deeper insights and facilitating profound growth.

If you would like to work on important matters in a private and confidential space with an experienced therapist you are welcome to contact me. I also assist via online platforms if that is your need.

I'm an experienced, UCT-trained clinical psychologist with a warm and encouraging approach to therapy. Therapy with me includes both talk therapy and research-based practical strategies which you can implement between sessions. Over time, therapy can help you to feel lighter, more at ease and enjoy richer relationships and a greater sense of meaning in life.

My overall therapeutic aim is to offer adolescents and young adults emotional support, insight, and opportunities for growth in order to develop into confident, resilient, and well-balanced individuals. I work within a psychoanalytic framework informed by attachment and object relations theory and deeply influenced by the work of Winnicott and also Jung. I aim to integrate the body and the symbolic expression of the unconscious as an essential guide to deeper understanding and meaningful psychological change.
